Title: Water-only method and apparatus for making snow
Inventor: RATNIK H RONALD
IPC: B05B1/14
Filed: 2003-07-24
Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing man-made snow without using either compressed air or high-speed fans. The method makes use of a special water node that is designed to provide a high volume spray of water particles that, owing do their size distribution (having a median size of between about and 200 microns) in the spray, are readily susceptible to conversion to ice crystals as they settle to earth under favorable ambient conditions.  Preferably, water applied to the nozzle is seeded with artificial nucleation sites so that water particles in a spray containing such sites are more susceptible to conversion to ice crystals as the particles settle to earth.

Title: Apparatus and method for brewing and dispensing coffee
Inventor: BUURMAN ROBERT NOEL
IPC: A47J31/44
Filed: 2004-05-14
Abstract: The apparatus includes a brewing vessel for the production of coffee. There is a holding vessel to which the coffee from the brewing vessel flows. The holding vessel lacks a heater so that the temperature of the coffee falls while it is in the holding tank. An urn receives coffee from the holding tank. In the urn the coffee is re-heated to a temperature suitable for consumption. The urn has a spigot for dispensing the hot coffee. There is a control means for preventing the coffee in the holding tank from flowing to the urn while coffee is flowing from the brewing vessel to the holding tank. The method includes the steps of: contacting coffee beans in a brewing vessel with a stream of hot water over a predetermined interval of time to produce liquid coffee. From the brewing vessel the coffee flows to an unheated holding tank where it remains, unheated, until the end of the predetermined time interval. At the end of the interval, the flow of hot water to the brewing vessel stops. Cool coffee from the holding tank then flows to an urn and is reheated and is dispensed as required.

Title: Isomaltooligosaccharides from leuconostoc as neutraceuticals
Inventor: DAY DONAL F
IPC: A23K1/16
Filed: 2004-05-19
Abstract: Isomaltooligosaccharides (IMOs) produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides ATCC    fermentation with a sucrose:maltose ratio of 2:1 have been discovered to be effective prebiotics in mixed cultures of microbial populations, including cultures from chicken ceca. Surprisingly in mixed microbial cultures this IMO composition proved as effective as FOS.  Thus, these IMOs can be used as effective prebiotics for both birds and mammals. Moreover, the IMOs were discovered to be effective non-competitive inhibitors of a-glucosidase. These IMOs also will be useful, as an .alpha.-glucosidase inhibitor, in a therapeutic application for several diseases, including obesity, diabetes mellitus, pre-diabetes, gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, caries, cancer, viral disease such as hepatitis B and C, HIV, and AIDS. A diet with 5-20% IMOs was also shown to reduce the abdominal fat tissue in mammals.
